Cousins,
I think it is a losing proposition to get him 10 games in. New idea. The 'Boys are looking for DB help. Look who they are dangling!
"Mac Engel, of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, reports the Dallas Cowboys could trade LB Bobby Carpenter to fill a need at defensive back."
Would you trade for Carpenter, who we know the Pats liked in last years draft but went for Maroney, for "Get Paid" Samuel to get Carpenter ready for 08 and beyond? I don't know if Woods is the answer or the youngster from SMU but, it's not just one LB that is graying, it is all of them that are. Let Carpenter learn under Teddy, Vrabel Seau, Thomas, Colvin and BB.
I say let Assante go to the Cowboys for Carpenter who seems to be the smart player BB looks for. Maybe the Cowboys throw in a third or a fourth too.
Now we don't have to gamble as far as when the prodigal son Sante returns and our LB core gets younger with some first round talent.
Would you Cousins out ther do this, or just let Samual go after a few token games this year for maybe a comp pick in 2008? I don't care what anyone says, Samuel IS!!!! a distraction in 07.
If you can grab a first round talent who makes you younger at a spot where you need to target, and LB was not addressed in April, doesn't this deal just fall into BB and SPs' lap?
